“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.

“My husband and I were married here in May by Deacon Walter. Even though my husband is Jewish, Deacon Walter could not have been more welcoming and offered to put us in touch with a rabbi so we could have an interfaith service. We opted with a fully Catholic ceremony, as I am much more religious, but just to have that level of acceptance and welcoming is rare and so very much needed in the Catholic Church. Highly recommend, and as you can see, it is a gorgeous church!”

“We visited this Church on October 2021 after visiting The First Church of Albany we decided to take a look at this Church and we thought the inside was amazing with nice paintings and decorations. Easy walk if you are staying in the downtown area where all the action takes places.”
